Evening arrangements

Especially as he got older, he’d be particular about which sofa or chair he sat on while we watched TV in the evenings. Often he’d have the whole three-seater sofa to himself: his bed on one seat, a fleece or wool blanket on another, and the bare leather at the end.

He’d move between the spots during the evening.  When HE decided it was bedtime (around 21:30) he’d ask to go out, and then when he came back in he’d expect his 1/3 Bonio to be placed on the blanked.  He might nudge it a but, but almost without fail ate it.

In his last few months he’d expect a Mini Markie as well – definitely as well and not instead, even though he’d usually leave the Bonio.

In his last fortnight we moved to a Mini Markie and a Tasty Bite “Chewy Slice”.  He’d not had any Bonio for a couple of weeks – those he did eat were from the sofa around dinnertime if I was cooking something that he wasn’t interested in.
